For a FCC crystal structure,
(a) Define three primitive vectors in the Cartesian Coordinates in the most symmetrical form. The lattice constant of FCC is ‘a’.
(b) From the above primitive vectors in the direct lattice, derive reciprocal primitive vectors in the Cartesian Coordinates.
(c) What is the structure of the reciprocal lattice? What is the length of the side of the cubic cell?
